You may have heard the phrase, “You are what you eat”.  Well, there may be some truth to that.  I was recently diagnosed as diabetic. Not REALLY bad, but enough that I needed take a lifestyle journey.  I knew I didn’t want to be tied to medications because I feel like they just trigger even bigger problems from side effects.

I had already been on a GUT HEALTH journey so the thought of digging even deeper into a total lifestyle journey wasn’t that big of a deal.  As you will see, my lifeystyle journey will be shared here on the podcast AND on my YouTube channel because I believe it is important to how to BE THE BRAND.

Now back to my journey… The KETOGENIC diet caught my eye last year and I THOUGHT I had been doing it.  I was WRONG….I was confused about it and the gestational diabetes diet I had been on during my last pregnancy.  I worked it out and now my blood sugar is FANTASTIC!

This podcast is an interview with Ms. To’Ccorra Hill, founder of the blog CURLS and COCKTAILS.  We’ve both been on a lifestyle journey and we wanted to discuss the importance of finding your healthy.  My mantra is BE THE BRAND and what more basic way is there to do that than to start with your insides.  You health!

To’Ccorra is struggling with Lupus and her symptoms are sometimes unbearable.  She told me they feel like having the flu.. debilitating at times.  Though she is still figuring things out, she did find a happy place with a PLANT BASED diet and shares her journey in this interview.

If you’re struggling with your own need for a lifestyle change, listen to us and take solis in knowing, we are right there with you.  We’ve been there and done that but know there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
